a friend mentioned a while back that a lot of companies use some form of wiki-like software for documentation, more structured collaborative note taking, etc. and although i don't work in that scenario, i set up a plain old wiki and started using it that way myself. it's significantly overkill but i
think it sort of changed how i think about note taking. (it's a waste if i write something down, use it, forget it, and then ever have to google it again. but also the act of doing it means you'll remember it's there, come back to it, remember how it worked a little better.. i duno)

if i google something that was useful, it's become a habit to think if i'll need it again.. rather than bookmarking it i take what's meaningful for me and put it in the wiki. sometimes i'll include the link and some search terms i used to find it anyways, but for the most part it's tailored to me without the "cruft" webpages have. after you've done that a few times you can end up with a decently structured page worth of documentation (and a whole lot of search terms to improve it if you need to).

anyways, i guess the point after that was i found the page editor annoying and tried the markdown one and it felt a little more like "just type some stuff and it looks good" vs "oops what did i just do" heh :)
